Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only.

Summary (from Goodreads):
Have you ever considered running away to Antarctica? Of course you have! Because it’s a land free of worries and responsibilities! All of your problems will surely be blown away by the icy winds of that lawless paradise! . . . Won’t they?
Think again, my friend. This penguin has come to tell you that his life down there is no more a picnic than yours is here. For starters, it is FREEZING. Also, penguins have a ton of natural predators. Plus, can you imagine trying to find your mom in a big ol’ crowd of identical penguins? No, thank you.
Yes, it seems there is no escaping the drudgery of your daily grind, whatever it might be. Or perhaps we’ve just learned that grumps are everywhere. . . .

Review:
PENGUIN PROBLEMS might just be the cutest book I've ever gotten my hands on. The adventures of this woefully disappointed penguin as he encounters many day-to-day problems made me smile. We've all been there - we all have problems and issues, but penguin's particular kind of morose made me giggle (and the 3 year old I was reading to laugh hysterically).
The best part is when a friend pulls Penguin aside to show him all the good he has in his life. And even though Penguin has problems, he is still loved and needed and wanted. What an amazing message for children (and adults).
Full of vivid and fun images, you'll definitely adore Penguin. OK, and the kids in your life will likely love him, too.
